.Net 3.5 in a Virtuozzo Windows 2003 container

I found a very useful
guide for installing .Net 3.5 into a Vituozzo container.
I am still not impressed by Virtuozzo, but for the purposes of the
site being hosted on it, it works. Luckily, .Net frameworks
can be installed on a per-container basis, so moving to 3.5 (LINQ!)
was pretty easy. There was 3 minutes of downtime scattered
throughout the installation-not too shabby, although for those 3
minutes that the web site wasn't serving up pages, a fair number of
fingernails were bitten.

As .Net has matured, did Microsoft ever tell us what's been up
with the numbering? We went from 1.0 to 1.1 to 2.0.50727 to
3.0 to 3.5 to 4.0. Why was version 2.0's revision code
included everywhere it's used? Were they planning on
releasing a 2.0.50728 at some point? I like the cleanliness
that 4.0 will bring back to web.config. Visual Studio 2010β2
crashed today while saving web.config to a website, which knocked
it down for a few minutes… It seems to have escaped notice,
but that's what happens when you get lazy and decide that not
every site needs a staging server.
